You are so good at portraits Maire and you have captured Aine's beautiful eyes perfectly.

I'm not sure which one Marisa's referring to but I'm inclined to agree; with some of the shots in this gallery which have a lighter background she doesn't stand out as much because of her relatively pale complexion. I think this mid grey is probably as far as you'd want to go though as you might otherwise have some issues with her dark hair merging into the background. You can see that happening a little with her black top, particularly bottom right. It's not a problem with the image since it's only a very small aspect of it and there's still plenty of definition to her hair, but I'm not sure it would work as well if the whole background were black. I think you've found the right background tone here.

This background enhances the grace and beauty of Aine much more than a beige one!
The portrtrait is elegant and absolutely wonderfully balanced, excellent work! I like the softness too
